The story is very dense and detailed for the chapter count, and the author has a real ability to keep interest piqued in the plot. Unlike many try-hard love triangle where the outcome is set from the start, this one keeps you reconsidering who to root for. There are a great many satisfying twists and turns- written in a way where you can kind of guess where it's going but also just fresh enough that the twists feel rewarding and invigorating.
Where this work really shines is the art. Every single page is richly detailed with an overwrought, almost Baroque finesse that modern shoujo manga sorely lacks. I found myself comparing it to the work of industry giants like Naoko Takeuchi. The panelling is very organic and emotional, with page compositions that draw you into the story. When I think of shoujo, this is the art that comes to mind: sweet, rich, and dramatic.
The characters are all very well-developed, with realistic flaws and personalities for their respective age groups while never losing their appeal. The lead in particular hits that balance of portraying accurately how girls at the age think while never losing sympathy for her through her struggles.
Overall, I enjoyed Les Miru Fleurs- if you haven't read a shoujo romance before, this is a good place to start.
